Had a run today from New Plymouth to Taumarunui via the lesser driven roads.
Moki Rd Tunnel


Kiwi Rd takes one to Ohura. The town that never wakes.

Kiwi Rd Tunnel

Main highway through the bush. Careful, there may be a logging truck.

It opens up into sheep country from time to time.

About 3 hrs from leaving New Plymouth. Ohura rolled into view.

The only sign of life in Ohura at 11.30 am. An open door…no people. Deserted!

Tourists on the Stratford to Taumarunui line. Golf carts, converted into trains. Clever idea Eh!

Obligatory road works, the farmer has stopped for a chat with his mate while we were held for 15 mins.

Then into main street Taumarunui.

I had some matters to attend at the local cemetery. A bit of a clean up of Great Grandfathers plot.

Then into digs for the night..

And that was todays effort.
Heading to Auckland tomorrow.
91 has just reached 2.90 per ltr It’s a shock to fill up the KLR at $45 for 15 ltr
Still, it’ll never be cheaper!
Cheers Doug
